I love the idea of this figure because no one does fully articulated DC figures better than Mattel, but this figure looks like poo. His head is 1000x too large for his body and although I love his face sculpt (much better than DC Direct's much more expensive version) the entire effect is ruined by the scale wonkiness all over this figure. All around suckfest.

BM was a great show. The Maximals were always on the run as Megatron ruled Cybertron. The animation was smooth and well done. It had a good ongoing storyline to it. Not to mention Megatron rocked the Optimal Optimus body in a single episode compared to Primal's 13 he had with it. Add on top the homages to the G1 story with the Key to Vector Sigma and The Plasma Energy Chamber, and you have one great show.

I don't get it, the BAF Darkseid from a few years ago was perfect. If you want to make a 52 Darkseid, who is just as big as the original, why not use the BAF version as the base? This Darkseid is too small and disproportionate. The DC Direct version was an almost instant sell out so maybe Mattel is trying to get a piece of that apple pie.

When did the DCD one come out? Does he have "Arms Falling Off" syndrome?

Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

DC Collectibles is making a New 52 version of Darkseid that comes out in December and it is pretty much sold out everywhere you look. Here is the link on Big Bad Toystore:

Wow it sure does look like a bunch of MOTUC parts. But I am sure they will be slightly off. I am pretty sure the MOTUC stuff is just for MOTUC. I could be wrong. Hasbro has shared parts between Star Wars and G.I. JOE multiple times. Almost used GI JOE bodies for a Jurassic Park line. So I guess anything is possible.

Only the shoulders is what they said. The MOTUC parts can be used on DC, but not vice-versa. At least, that is how things appear.

That is actually just what Scott said... Which doesn't seem true from the pics. When asked if he was a MOTUC buck, the 4H actually said:

“Yes and no. Parts of him [DKR Batman] are MotU re-use and some are not.”

Now had it just been shoulders, I am fairly certain the 4H would have said "nah, just his shoulders are". I think this is just a case of Scott having the wrong info. Take a look at this post from Itsalltrue.net to see that many of the parts on DKR Bats are pretty clearly re-used from MOTUC-

Depending on how big he is, well, looks like MOTUC parts to me from the abs (skipping the briefs) down....either way, he looks like crap, way too big up top compared to the rest. Leech is better proportioned than him.
